Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia Review
I played the game for about 6-7 hours yesterday. I wasn’t immediately smitten with it, but once I got into it, I couldn’t put it down. I was thinking about it this morning as I was taking a shower and...

Final Fantasy 12 – The Movie
Or rather, the cut scenes (in game and pre-rendered) from the game. If you’re like me, you really don’t have the time to spend plunking down in front of your TV to play 40-60 hour games anymore. Most of...
Love is in the Air
An interesting side effect of releasing XNA Express is that there seems to be an uptick of interest in C# and the .Net platforn in general. A 4 page thread sprang up last night on NewGAF and the community is...
Innovation, Sony Style

Ebert on Games as Art, Part 2
Over the last few weeks, there has been quite some noise regarding the debate as to whether video games should be regarded as a form of “art”. Certainly, this is not a new debate, but it has been reinvigorated as...
Speculating on the next Gameboy
As I was laying down to sleep, I started to think about the next generation Gameboy (GBX, Gameboy Next). Honestly, I don’t remember the train of thought that lead me to thinking about it, but I was sooo engrossed, that...
